Can't help you with Partition Magic, but maybe you should consider biting
the bullet and doing it the old-fashioned way, tweaking your partitions
with FIPS and using LILO as a boot manager.

Back in 1997 I had a colleague who wanted to dual-boot the English and
Japanese versions of Windows 95, which was supposed to be impossible. I
created two big Windows partitions and a small Linux partition, set LILO
up to switch the bootable flag on the two Win partitions, installed both
versions of Windows, created a nice boot menu ... worked like a charm!
